Pennsylvania HB2611 creates a new offense of aggravated assault for health insurer CEOs when adverse benefit determinations result in serious injury.
HB2611 amends Pennsylvania's Title 18 to establish aggravated assault charges against a health insurer's chief executive officer if an insured person suffers serious bodily injury or death due to an adverse benefit determination for a medically necessary benefit. The bill defines "adverse benefit determination" and "medically necessary" according to existing insurance laws. This law aims to hold health insurer CEOs accountable for decisions that lead to severe harm to insured individuals.
